Wow! It's officially been 1 year (and 102 days) since the release of A Minor Inconvenience At Dinner! Here's a SPECIAL ILLUSTRATION to celebrate!!!!!

Clocked In will still release, and with summer coming, I hope to have a little more time to sink my teeth into it. But at the same time, these other projects need to be my priority. I hope you guys understand! When I can share more details, I will. I’m super excited to show this off :)

I’ve been pretty silent on here for a while but I need to make sure I get this out there. I have not been able to work on Clocked In in a meaningful capacity in a while. The reason is because I’ve had my hands full with TWO other games! Ones that aren’t being made by just me!!

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Signed onto another project. I don’t have a ton of details to share right now but know that this takes priority over Clocked In for the time being. However, this job involves a lot of Ren’py programming, so I might have another test project to release… We’ll see!

Sorry for the extended period of radio silence. I've had my hands full with some other work. What work, though? I've been doing the marketing for Blunderbusted, a roguelite light gun shooter. And our Kickstarter page just went live!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dar...

I changed my mind it's delayed because of Silksong

010

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Tl;dr Clocked In is delayed (again) for rewrites. These won’t take too terribly long, so all I ask is that you stick with me while I work on this. I have said it before and will say it again: Clocked In is going to come out. I refuse to cancel this one.

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Of course, it means I still have no idea when the game is gonna come out. I’m effectively taking a 100m dash backwards. What I can say for certain is that this will make the game better. The new stuff will certainly be better than what would have been added before.

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

The reason for this is that I’ve become so discouraged to work on the current version of the story. It’s been impossible to make it make any sense. As such, I’m going to begin rewriting major aspects of the story. What does this mean, exactly?

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Hey all. Earlier this summer I stated that I would be resuming work on Clocked In. Since then, the amount of progress made has unfortunately been little to none. I did sit down and work on it, but ultimately, I barely got anything done.

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Yes! I saw the bottle at my job and took a picture. It has the protagonist’s name on it. No affiliation with that company whatsoever. Free Palestine

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

Consider this your first teaser. Would you like this, @kingdrew.bsky.social?

011

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Thank you for sticking with me during the break!! Clocked In WILL release. Big things are coming.

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

3. Voice actors I am hoping to keep all of the same voice actors I had before! I will be reviewing my cast list and reaching out as necessary to make sure everyone's on board, and eventually, I will announce the full cast :)

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

2. Where I am rn Currently, the game is entirely outlined and planned, meaning I am at the scripting stage. I will start by reviewing the entire script, and then editing as needed. Then we get right back to scripting! I don't intend on making any major changes to the story.

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

1. Change of engine So making it in Godot was the original plan. Just to make things easier for myself, I'm going to be making the game in Ren'Py for now. Maybe a Godot version will get made later, but for my first big release, I will be using Ren'Py to make things easier.

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Well, it's June 1st (5th actually), so as I've been saying, it's time to finally dedicate my time toi Clocked In again! I'm actually VERY able to do this now, so I'm about to give it my all and get this shit made! Here's some updates about the state of the game:

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

About to make a serious post about Clocked In but I have to take a moment to say that the new Marvel fighting game looks so unbelievably cool

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Notable changes: John Fishing and James M. Agonist now have hair. Also, the main menu has been updated. Minor bug and spelling/grammar fixes have also been made.

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

The game will be receiving an update in the future that adds voice acting! And it will also make sure that you can't pick the same option over and over

010

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

I'd like to take a second to announce something major. Clocked In is going to be released physically here in the United States, as an exclusive for the Nintendo DSi! Please check the following link for more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trollface

Would you trust this man to solve your murder

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I'm about to playtest something I've made. Feels a little surreal, but mostly, it feels right.

010

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Joining low-commitment random projects for resume/portfolio building reasons Do I think they'll get made? Good chance they won't. But if I get writing done and build some experience with working in a team, that's a win for me.

010

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Will be free. Resume building piece. Then we move on to the next thing. Then… …we return to Clocked In.

010

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Expect a little tiny something by the end of the month.

110

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

So I'll say this. I have a really cool idea for a game, and I plan on dropping a demo for it before I return to work on Clocked In. This game, if it was to become a full game, would not be releasing until after Clocked In.

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I will have some sort of legal protection over Clocked In nobody is taking my precious baby that’s been slowly cooking in my brain for several years

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

No I will not be posting progress stuff because I’m deathly afraid of someone taking the idea and using it without any credit whatsoever because I have no following and they could get away with it. That’s also why very little was revealed about Clocked In teehee.

100

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Don’t listen to the haters (my brain). Clocked In will release when I am ready to fully commit to it. Been cooking other stuff in the meantime. Very excited to show off what I’ve got going on when it’s ready.

110

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Unfortunately, after a lot of thought, I am putting Clocked In on hold. I don't feel that I'm ready to continue pursuing the project at this time. In about 6 months (or less) I will be returning to work on it after I've worked hard on some of my other skills. Stuff is coming in the meantime...

020

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

As such, I've come to a tough conclusion: The new target release for Clocked In is Q1 or Q2, 2026. That's not to say it won't be moved up if things are going well, but I need to make sure what I'm making is good. I might look for more collaborators, or I'll work on my skills. Thank you all (2/2)

110

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

I went to a very eye-opening presentation yesterday. As a (mostly) solo game dev, taking on my current project alone is quite the endeavor. So I've got to look into a few things. Gotta improve some skills. I also want to be able to pay people, so I need to get my money up. (1/2)

110

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Using some free time I have today to do some script writing. Almost every character has at least one line of dialogue rn. Going to be every character by the end of the day.

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

Man I can't wait to have literally anything to show off for Clocked In. Might just start doing character sketches with my very limited artistic ability and post them so that people can see that I am doing things

000

ppom @ppomdev.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

Clocked In mini progress report: Haven't been able to do a ton. Have, however, cooked up some ideas. What I have been working on recently, however, is a complete list of the character relationships between every character. It's being handwritten in a notebook rn. I'm pretty damn proud of it.
